Another Word for Love
Autor Carvell Wallaceen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mai 2024
We are born, and life breaks us. We spend the rest of our lives trying to put ourselves back together. "To return, to be made whole again. This is another word for love," writes Carvell Wallace. In Another Word for Love, Wallace excavates layers of his own history, situated in the struggles and beauty of growing up Black and queer in America. What follows could be another narrow story of pain and survival, recounting hurt and centering suffering. But this is not that kind of memoir. Wallace is an award-winning journalist who has built his career writing unforgettable profiles, bringing a provocative and engaged sensitivity to his subjects. Now he turns the focus on himself, examining his own life and the circumstances that frame it--to make sense of seeking refuge from homelessness with a young single mother, to living in a ghostly white Pennsylvania town, to becoming a partner and parent, raising two teenagers in what feels like a collapsing world. With courage, vulnerability, and a remarkable expansiveness of spirit--not to mention an unrivaled, thrilling, and stylistic storytelling verve--in a world that can feel stacked against it, Another Word for Love makes an irresistible case for life, for healing, for the fullness of our humanity, and, of course, for love itself. This extraordinary, one-of-a-kind book is a radical meditation on healing, told through the lenses of justice, sex, family, and death. It could be called a theory of life itself--a theory of being that will leave you open to the expansive wonder of the world.
